My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 736 So you really do have something!
Yung-gu was one of the top three in the Miss Hong Kong pageant in the 1970s.

Actually, among the beauties selected, only a minority became actresses at that time; most of them married into wealthy families.

Beauty pageants are essentially a way for wealthy Hong Kong families to choose their wives and daughters-in-law.

It must have been because the film and television industry became so popular that young women started to lose their sense of direction, insisting on becoming famous through acting rather than being playthings of the wealthy. Gradually, beauty pageants became the mainstream way to debut.

Just like how many beautiful women were later attracted by the idea that live streaming could make them rich, which gradually lowered Shang K's attractiveness.

Rong Gu lost her chance to marry into a wealthy family after it was revealed during a beauty pageant that she had worked in nightclubs. Instead, she has continued to work in the entertainment industry, acting and hosting.

Actually, she's only about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.

I haven't made much money; I'm just an average, good-looking white-collar worker.

The next day, still somewhat surprised, he took Wei Dong and the others to the TV station.

Jiang Jialing is very familiar with the place; she works at a radio station next door: "My husband asked me to come over to start work, and I came here to resign, although I'm not quite sure what I'll be doing specifically."

The Dodge minivan was given to Fa-ge, and Wei-dong was asked to drive the Jaguar. He still felt he needed to buy another minivan, since there were always a bunch of people with him.

But she still greeted Rong Gu with a friendly gesture and opened the door for her: "If you're interested, you can join us. We have plenty of work to do, from film companies and music video shoots to variety shows."

Ronggu looked curiously at the passenger seat and said to her wife, "Barbara is so beautiful, she could play the lead role herself."

Qin Yuye stroked her face and lamented, "She's too beautiful, so she's destined to remain hidden away, unknown to the world..."

He explained with a laugh: "Our main business is in mainland China and Citibank. Hong Kong is just the connecting point. We need to transfer funds and materials through here, so of course we have to manage it well. My older brother happens to own a film company. It would be a waste if we only used our team to shoot commercials, so let's do movies and TV shows together."

In fact, I've seen in the past few days that Wei Dong is a rare young tycoon who is on par with Hong Kong billionaires like Li Bancheng, Lao Heng, Uncle De, Uncle Zhong, and Uncle Qian.

Everyone can see that the future is bright.

After a slight hesitation, Rong Gu nodded: "I'll finish filming this program. I have a standard artist contract with the TV station, which doesn't involve movies. I can sign it, but I mainly film TV dramas and do variety shows."

To put Wei Dong at ease, he said, "Then let's make a show. Do you remember the show we talked about back then?"

Qin Yuye's eyes immediately lit up: "The one from the island beauty pageant?!"

Wei Dong shook his head: "Pretty much, but beauty pageants are too narrow. A few friends doing wilderness survival, playing games at a beach camp, or even going beyond that, going to scenic spots in Southeast Asia or even around the world to shoot some travel footage, can all be used as backgrounds for music videos or TV programs."

Rong Gu was still a little confused: "But if this kind of TV program is broadcast in Hong Kong, I'll be in breach of contract."

Wei Dong laughed: "No need, our main focus is on selling to the mainland market. Hong Kong only has a few million people, while the mainland has a billion viewers..."

In the 1990s, TVB introduced a variety show from Southeast Asia or the right bank, which cultivated an entire generation of stars and viewers.

Since there was only one channel, he naturally became a household name and a big star.

Even the hosts later became very famous.

This is the advantage of having a single source of information.

Having collaborated with TVB for so long, I might as well try promoting this kind of program to see if there's any opportunity.

Rong Gu has high expectations.

Wei Dong followed the feng shui master's directions and thought this was an opportunity?
Dragged out of the basketball court and squeezed onto the back door panel, Liang Jiahui remained silent. He knew that Wei Dong had brought him to these places in an effort to create as many acting opportunities as possible for him.

When it's time to put in the effort, you have to work your ass off.

As a result, the two couples followed Aunt Rong into the TV station and casually mentioned that currently, Hong Kong is dominated by two major TV stations, TVB and Uncle Tak's Asia Channel, including beauty pageants, where Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia each have their own territory.

But overall, this terrestrial station is still stronger.

Two or three years ago, when Wei Dong went to Uncle De's TV station to take over Jenny's messed-up Colorful Cowboy, he witnessed the dazzling array of beautiful women at the station.

Now I feel even more strongly that we should shoot a jeans ad here.

Handsome men and beautiful women are everywhere.

He wasn't very familiar with Hong Kong films and TV dramas from that era, because the security guard dormitory didn't have a television set in the early days, and he couldn't receive these programs.

I tried to recognize these faces after a quick glance.

Qin Yuye kept observing his expression and even picked out some famous beauties to greet and shake hands with.

Upon discovering that her husband showed no signs of lust, she asked, "Then what are you looking at?"

Wei Dong was also baffled: "How should I know? Cheng Lang was mysteriously telling me to follow Aunt Rong, and I even deliberately brought Aunt Rong to the company."

Qin Yuye excitedly took his arm and observed everything around them even more closely, pointing out any interesting details to Wei Dong.

It seems like they're playing some kind of fun game.

Liang Jiahui also put his arm around his girlfriend, who was looking around, and walked away. It was obvious that Jiang Jialing was not as confident as Qin Yuye.

Rong Gu sighed jokingly, wondering why she had to be a third wheel. It wasn't until after the program's morning meeting, when she had asked her boss if the film contract conflicted with the company's terms, that she came out ready to start work.

Wei Dong didn't notice anything particularly remarkable.

He was complaining to Qin Yuye, "Am I supposed to come and work with Aunt Rong every day?"
Qin Yuye quickly agreed: "I'll go with you. This guidance is very clear, even specifying the person. In 1984, the year I met you, a big boss in Tsim Sha Tsui lost 300 million and went bankrupt, begging for his help. He only said to go to the west to look for opportunities. As a result, in the past three years, that guy has made a fortune by speculating in foreign exchange in the Middle East and West Asia, and redeemed all his assets. It's quite legendary!"

Wei Dong was dumbfounded: "Going west? Holy crap, isn't this just taking a chance? If this guy goes and actually makes a fortune and comes back, then his guidance was amazing. If he goes and doesn't get a chance or even dies, then he wasn't sincere? As long as a few people succeed, his reputation will rise. He's a fraud!"

Qin Yuye was furious: "Why do you only believe what Third Sister says!"

Shen Cuiyue may have truly elevated Wei Dong's understanding of human nature to a certain level: "Anyway, it's all a scam. For example, that person might also be trying to make a quick buck from a swindle, but following Lao Cheng's story makes it seem more legitimate, right? Plus, they can collude with Lao Cheng to swindle money..."

Enraged, Qin Yuye jumped up and kicked, even stomping on his foot without regard for etiquette.

Married women in Hong Kong rarely act this irritably, especially towards their wealthy husbands.

Jiang Jialing and Rong Gu were both stunned. Liang Jiahui even tried to distract them, saying, "Can we go now? Rong Jie is going to work at the recording studio. If your foot is injured, do you need me to drive you?"

Qin Yuye laughed and jumped onto Wei Dong's back: "No way! He was trained by the Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex since he was a child, so his body is as tough as steel and can't be broken."

Jiang Jialing finally said with envy, "You two have such a good relationship..."

But you might be wondering, if they have a good relationship, why are there more than two of them?
Qin Yuye wasn't afraid of what people would say behind her back: "Sigh, the best friend didn't come out today... right?!" She even choked him as she spoke.

Let Wei Dong skillfully shake her off and make her walk around, stop talking nonsense.

There were just too many peeking eyes around, all of them were like 250-degree high-brightness titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

Just two or three kilometers away, on a hilltop film set, there were many buildings of varying heights, like a cement factory, which could be used to set up various sound stages for filming TV series and variety shows.

Wei Dong was even reminded of the bases for live streaming and short video production that internet celebrities would talk about 30 or 40 years from now; they would all follow this pattern.

His problem lies here: because his own circumstances were quite closed off, he actually didn't have much information in the 1980s and 90s, and even in the first ten years of the new century, he mainly came from a very limited number of channels such as television, his compound, and newspapers.

It wasn't until you could scroll through videos with just one finger that things suddenly became much richer.

Along the way, I saw various actors, but they were all vaguely recognizable. Among them were several beautiful and distinctive young women, but I didn't want to ask my wife.

I racked my brains trying to think of it, could it be this?

Rong Gu doesn't clock in or sit at work; she just comes on time to prepare for recording her hosting program.

Let Wei Dong and the others act as temporary spectators, watching from the sidelines in the studio.

There's nothing particularly special about it.

The four of them watched the whole thing, and Wei-dong had to ask his wife to translate because he couldn't understand Cantonese.

It was a rare treat for the two of them to come out and relax together, and it felt like they were whispering to each other while watching a movie.

On set, you can't just whisper to each other, so it has to be whispering in each other's ears.

Wei Dong was thoroughly enjoying the filming of this variety show, which he had never seen before. He was shocked when he realized that his wife had reached out and hugged his waist.

They didn't dare to make a loud noise, for fear of disrupting other people's work environment.

This has nothing to do with how much money one has; it's a matter of character.

While trying to pry it apart, they quietly moved it to the corner.

They were all temporary steps made of cut and painted wooden boards. Wei Dong dodged backward, but he didn't expect that the silver-gray wall behind him was actually a curtain projected by lights. The two of them fell backward.

Having played basketball frequently, Wei Dong had a good sense of self-preservation. He instinctively pressed Qin Yuye's head into his arms with one hand and held the back of his own head with the other to avoid hitting it. In short, the two of them hugged tightly and fell with a thud!

Qin Yuye chuckled to himself and hugged her even tighter.

Fortunately, it wasn't high, just two levels of seating, but the two people who fell and were completely disoriented leaned against this side and realized that it was the film set next door!

They fell directly onto the set of the TV series that was being filmed.

A group of television professionals stared in disbelief at the two uninvited guests who had fallen from the other side of the "wall".

The director and cinematographer, who were interrupted, were so angry they were about to yell at each other.

Wei Dong had no choice but to shake his head vigorously to get his eyes focused.

Because right under the camera's lights, there were three or four people acting out a scene.

Standing on the edge, he looks like a greenhorn who's just a bit player. Who else could he be but the master of nonsensical comedy?
This finally made Wei Dong realize why he had always vaguely felt that he had a trump card.

In the Hong Kong film market of the 1990s, it was all about getting Ah Xing (Stephen Chow) to win!
